DOT & PF arcgis image server deployment

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) received a $153,267 Formula Grant award on April 17, 2023 from the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205).

The grant funds the development of an ArcGIS Image Server to collect, manage, and distribute imagery from a variety of sensor platforms including satellites, aircraft, and drones. Key deliverables include installing and configuring Image for ArcGIS Online and Image Server software on DOT&PF's premises and Azure cloud infrastructure. The grant also supports establishing virtual desktop environments and conducting workshops to obtain stakeholder feedback on implementation approaches. This foundational work will help standardize DOT&PF's remote sensing and reality capture data to support transportation planning and infrastructure management across Alaska. No sub-awards were indicated.
